What food does the solar term snow eat?

We eat mutton, bacon, sweet potato porridge, caramel and pig's trotters in the heavy snow.

1, mutton

"Winter supplements, spring kills tigers", and mutton becomes the best food every winter. In Nanjing, people eat mutton during heavy snow. In most northern areas, people will eat a bowl of hot mutton or mutton soup during heavy snow.

In Baotou, Inner Mongolia, there is a saying that "light snow kills pigs and heavy snow kills sheep". Whenever there is heavy snow in the solar term, that is, when the sheep are slaughtered for the New Year, people will also eat freshly slaughtered mutton on the solar term.

2. bacon

There is a folk saying called "light snow pickles, heavy snow pickles". After entering the solar term of heavy snow, the temperature drops and the outside is dry, which is also the best time to marinate meat. In Jiangsu, Zhejiang and Southwest China, many people are busy curing bacon, filling sausages and other "salty goods" during the Spring Festival due to heavy snow and the arrival of the solar term. When drying bacon in other areas, it will be worn with short bamboo strips and thin ropes, indicating that it is thriving for more than a year.

3. caramel

In northern China, there is a custom of eating caramel in the snowy season. Candy, also known as syrup, is deeply loved by people. Every time there is heavy snow and solar terms, there will be street vendors selling sweets, attracting many children to buy them.

In Wenzhou, people who sell caramel are called "sugar customers". Before and after the solar term of heavy snow, children or adults will exchange their own copper coins, copper coins and other items with "candy customers" for caramel.

4. sweet potato porridge

After the heavy snow and solar terms, the temperature gradually became cold. In some parts of northern Shandong, people will go out less and choose to drink warm sweet potato porridge in their diet.

5, trotters

Pig's trotters are rich in collagen, the weather is dry in snowy days, and the temperature difference between indoor and outdoor is large. When it snows heavily, eat some trotters rich in collagen.
